HistoryEdit

In the New Prophecy ArcEdit

StarlightEdit

As cats from the new Clans settle around the Lake, five cats, Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Crowfeather, Mistyfoot, and Tawnypelt are chosen to patrol the lake, deciding borders and laying out territories for the four Clans. As they are starting on ShadowClan, Squirrelflight encounters Jacques, in which both the cats get into a battle. Brambleclaw comes to Squirrelflight's aid, but as Brambleclaw joins her, Susan joins Jacques, and they both put up quite a fight for kittypets. Mistyfoot, RiverClan's deputy, comes and helps Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight. Crowfeather and Tawnypelt charge across the forest to help the cats, but Jacques' Twoleg screeches something at the doorway. His screeching eventually leading Jacques into running back into his Twoleg nest.

TwilightEdit

He and Susan brutally attack Talonpaw, a ShadowClan apprentice, when Talonpaw is hunting alone. After managing to drag himself back to camp, the young apprentice dies from his injuries. Rowanclaw, who was his mentor, takes a patrol for revenge, but Susan and Jacques flee for their Twoleg nest, and their Twoleg throws something at the patrol, which wounds Cedarheart. Squirrelflight retells the story to Firestar, adding in that they've been terrorized by him and Susan. Brambleclaw, Brackenfur, Thornclaw, Cloudtail, Rainwhisker, Squirrelflight, Tawnypelt, Russetfur, Rowanclaw, and Oakfur launch an attack on the nest, using Tawnypelt as bait to get Susan and Jacques to come out.

This is done to cut Susan and Jacques off from the Twoleg nest. Susan and Jacques are let off with a threatening warning: if they ever again harm any Clan cat, they will be killed. He was seen charging at Cloudtail, fighting with Rowanclaw, and fighting with Squirrelflight who pushes him in to Brambleclaw, who pins him to the ground. He is last seen running back to his Twolegs.

In the Omen of the Stars ArcEdit

The Forgotten Warrior Edit

Jacques does not formally appear, but is mentioned, though not by name, at a Gathering by Blackstar, saying that Toadfoot and Tawnypelt had defeated the two kittypets in a battle at the Twoleg nest. Toadfoot's eye is swollen from a scratch, suggesting the kittypets had put up a decent fight.

In the Field Guide ArcEdit

Secrets of the ClansEdit

Jacques and Susan are mentioned for the first time by their names in this book. They are both described as bullies who attack weaker cats and escape into their Twoleg nest when beginning to lose a fight. It is also mentioned that they were punished for their deeds by ShadowClan and ThunderClan.
